jQuery event when select option

Question

What's the event to bind for when a select form is selected?

I have something like this:

<select id='list'> <option value='1'>Option A</option> <option value='2'>Option B</option> <option value='3'>Option C</option> </select> 

When Option B is selected, I want some function to run.

So what do I bind,

$("#list").bind("?", function (){ // How do I check if it's option b that's selected here //blah blah }); 

Answer 1

This jQuery snippet will get you started:

$('#list').change(function() {     if ($(this).val() === '2') {         // Do something for option "b"     } });
